Partnerships That Make a Difference: Showery x Trees for the Future
For every order you place, we contribute towards planting trees in disaster-affected area around the world.
We’re honoured to be partners with Trees for the Future, which is a non-profit organisation that works with thousands of farming families across nine countries to reforest barren and disaster-stricken lands. These tree plantations promote the long-term health of the land, farming families, and communities; to break the cycle of generational poverty and seeding hope for the future.
Planting trees is vital, not only to empower farmers and support their livelihoods but to restore biodiversity, bringing beneficial animals and insects back to the land. They help capture and control carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. They promote sustainable farming practices, build healthy soil and stop climate migration.
In their 30+ year history, the charity have worked around the globe planting 220,000,000, while restoring 58,000 acres of land. While making the planet better, they’ve also changed the lives of over 30000 inhabitant farmers in these areas.
Trees for the Future aims to end hunger and poverty by training farmers to regenerate their land through their 4-year training programme called the Forest Garden Approach. This way they support farmers in planting thousands of trees that protect and bring nutrients back to the soil. This aids the growth of a variety of fruits and vegetables. Forest Garden farmers gain increases in income and access to food, even in the first year, all while improving the environment.
Agriculture accounts for a large percentage of economies and income opportunities in the developing world. Unfortunately, decades of unsustainable agriculture practices have resulted in degraded and unproductive land; nutrient-scarce food systems; and farming families who are unable to grow and sell enough to meet their most basic needs. Their Forest Garden Approach in semi-arid countries like Senegal, has proven agroforestry to be a solution to each of these challenges, effectively ending hunger and poverty while restoring the land and environment. Now, we are expanding our work out again, operating in nine countries across sub-Saharan Africa.
Along with donating for the plantation of 4,000 trees in forest gardens throughout Africa, Showery strives to create a greener and more sustainable environment through its innovative range of shower heads. Our micro hole technology pushes water out at a much higher pressure whilst reducing the water consumption and our start/stop button helps in less wastage during a shower. Our products are delivered in eco-friendly packaging to further decrease the impact on the environment.
Your purchase has a direct impact on the earth and lives of the people who need it most. You’re helping us plant trees which can give families the ability to transition from unsustainable farming techniques to a flourishing forest garden system. Your move does not only bring you a better shower experience but helps the environment and the people sharing it with you.
Join us in creating a brighter tomorrow for us all.
